Inside McEntire’s Home with Her Love
McEntire lives in Nashville. Her home is decorated with thoughtfully curated elements, including art pieces, creature comforts, and warm textures. In a December 2021 interview, the "I'm a Survivor" hitmaker described her entire home interior, saying:
"I call the style 'African Cowboy.' [...] I have photos that I have taken on my trips to Africa which are mixed with Western-inspired elements like rich leathers, dark woods, and steerheads."
The red-haired explained she wanted a house that represented her authentic self while also divulging what she envisioned for her beautiful space:
"I love a home that is warm, inviting, and friendly. You never have to ask to take your shoes off at the door here!"
McEntire Dishes on House Rules She Lives By
The veteran actress has also discussed her house rules, especially when it involves entertaining guests. In a September 2023 interview, she said:
"My main rule when anybody comes over is to feel at home, be completely relaxed, and have fun."
In addition, McEntire also asks her guests to make themselves feel "comfortable" in her humble abode but to pick up after themselves. If she has guests who end up in the barn with her, she does not tell them to take their boots off when entering the house. The Hollywood star revealed what she usually tells them:
“[…] I say, 'Hey, this is the farmhouse, you don't have to take your shoes off at all.'"
McEntire also prefers having a meal already prepared for her guests when they arrive. She considers wintertime the best season to make soup with cornbread for those visiting and sits with them by the fire.
Overall, the Oklahoma native five shared her top-of-the-list house rules: making the bed every morning, asking whether someone has eaten, making oneself feel at home, refraining from using scented candles in the kitchen, and not worrying about matching silverware.
McEntire shared that the one thing that makes her house feel like home is flowers. Moreover, the top three kitchen essentials she could not live without are her blender, a paring knife, and a coffee maker.

The "Reba" alum divulged in an October 2022 interview that she makes her boyfriend Rex Linn coffee every morning. Although he offers to make it himself, she usually insists on making it, "I always do the coffee camp," said the television star. In return, he would offer to "rub her feet or shoulders" when she is tired.
McEntire and Linn, who co-starred in "Young Sheldon," after she made a guest appearance alongside Annie Potts, Jim Parsons, and Kaley Cuoco, started dating in early 2020. However, they have known each other since 1991 after co-starring in the movie, "The Gambler." McEntire has called the actor the love of her life.
